It sure beats the regular Cobalt at EPA 33 Highway.

I realize this car can do better, and I will get 50MPG plus or die trying.
At about 5K miles you should start to see a jump in fuel mileage. Don't expect to see your top fuel mileage until after 10K miles. By then your engine and transmission should be pretty much fully broken in.
